I checked my files from when I did electrical work on the bus and, YES it even hadn't the holes welded up, they are still there ! 
I will try to read the AMAG nr, the plaque is still there. And I will ask Bart if he did remove the visor, if it was still there at all and if he still has it. Will post pics in case. |
Nice! Thanks for digging that picture up. If your friend has the birth certificate, please ask them about the build month of the bus.
Does anybody know of any other post-barndoor license light visor busses?
(I know this thread is in the barndoor section, but it's worth a shot)
Would like to see a '58 to see how late they go.
Also, what is the earliest known license light bus? |

The visor is not centered

Now we are talking. Glad to see more and more of these show up.
What is going on with that screwed-in plate above the visor? |

nane_cox,
do you still have the visor from your 52 or the 53 in the picture?
So far it seems that all the post 53 visors are pretty consistent.
I would love to see more pre 53 visors.
I wonder if these visors were installed on any 50-51 ?

Another observation: if it would have been a real "swiss made", there would have been a rubber between the plate and the decklid...  |
